Hao Ren did not doubt Lily's ability to find bones. She was not good at other things, but her husky's talents were superb. She could dig holes and hold things in her mouth, grind her teeth and gnaw on bones. She had mastered all six of the Harpies' unique skills. If she said she did not find anything, then she must have not found anything.
But Vivian still did not believe it. She asked Lily to go down and search again. This time, she also sent her little bats to turn every inch of the crater upside down.
"No," Lily said as she crawled out from under a pile of rocks. She felt that she could dig out oil if she continued to dig, so she came up to report, "Not to mention Odin's bones, I can't even find his clothes."
Hao Ren smacked his lips and said, "If you say that flesh and blood can be completely digested by Fenrir, I can reluctantly believe it, but Odin went in wearing a full body armor. If there is nothing left of him, it will be more unreal. Not only is there no body, but even the armor is gone. This is a lot of information. "
"Are you sure Odin was eaten by Fenrir?" Nangong Sanba turned to look at Vivian.
Vivian raised her chin. "Didn't Gungnir dig out from here? How could it be fake? "
"Could it be that someone took Odin's body away?" Y 'zaks, who had been silent all this while, chimed in. "After all, he was the king of the Norse gods. No matter how tragic the situation was, someone might have risked his life to retrieve his body."
Vivian shook her head. "Impossible. The situation at that time was beyond tragic. The Aesir gods did not have the time. According to Ymir, the demon hunters' light cannon killed all the survivors on the battlefield at the last moment. Who could collect Odin's body?"
"Ruling out all the impossible conjectures, there is only one answer, no matter how bizarre it is." Lily pinched her chin and nodded seriously. "That is: Odin is not dead! He ran away! "
There was a sudden silence. Everyone had different expressions. Some thought that Lily was being whimsical, some were frowning, some were nodding slightly, and Nangong Wuyue was blowing bubbles. But no matter what they thought, Lily's words seemed to make sense.
Hao Ren looked up. The whole of Asgard was a wasteland. He was very doubtful. "Could Odin really survive on this battlefield?"
"Not only do I have to survive under Fenrir's sharp teeth, but I also have to survive the demon hunters' beam cannons and finally leave this battlefield with my own strength." Nangong Sanba felt like he was listening to a fantasy story. "Can anyone really do that?" he asked.
Lily used her long claws to pick at the huge twisted bones of Fenrir. "The fact is that Odin is missing. He did not die where he was. Let's assume that he was not dead at that time. Where did he go? "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and agreed with Lily's speculation. "Assuming that he was alive, he either ran to Earth, or he did not have time to evacuate Asgard and flew into space with Yggdrasil. I'm inclined to the second scenario. "
These speculations were not baseless. Hao Ren knew very well that the first possibility was very small. Not to mention that Odin was seriously injured at that time, it was impossible for him to cross the blockade line under the nose of countless demon hunters. Even if he did, why did he not appear when the situation between the otherworldlings and the demon hunters on Earth was changing rapidly? As soon as the news of the establishment of the Shadow Council spread, all the Ancients who lived in seclusion could not sit still. So he felt that if Odin was really not dead at that time, then he most likely stayed in this world. But … it was hard to say whether he was still alive now.
Odin was seriously injured at that time, and it was very likely that he had died.
Y 'zaks looked into the distance. "There seems to be some vitality here. If it was a powerful life like Odin, maybe he could survive."
"Well, there is still vitality here." Vivian looked up into the distance. Although half of Asgard had been scorched by the battlefield, neither the Twilight of the Gods nor the demon hunters' bombardment had completely wiped out life in this space. There was still green in the distant mountains, and there were tenacious mutant plants growing between the cracks on the edge of the battlefield. These things had withstood the deadly radiation storm and survived to this day. "But it's hard to say for other places."
Hao Ren heard the implication in Vivian's words. "Other places are worse than here?"
"Asgard should be in the best situation. Although it was the battlefield of the Twilight of the Gods, the war was not only here. At that time, the order of the Nine Worlds was subverted, and all kinds of barriers between them failed. Out of control magical energy filled every kingdom. Coupled with the superweapon used by the demon hunters, this energy could almost completely destroy any ecosystem. Asgard is protected by the runes of the god of Asgard. The animals and plants here have also been improved and strengthened all year round, so the vitality is not cut off. But in other places, most life will not survive. The magic radiation will kill all animals and plants in a few days. So if Odin survived the war, then he is most likely to stay in Asgard. Even if he died, he should die in a corner of this land. "
"So are we going to find the whereabouts of Odin?" Galazur crossed her arms. "Or are we going to find the ancient starship you mentioned? Or to communicate with the First Born? "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and quickly made a decision: to find out the ultimate whereabouts of Odin!
Mimir's spaceship was an immortal object. If it was really in Yggdrasil, it would not run away. But the sudden change of Odin's death was more concerning. What if the ancient god was still alive? Was he still alive on this lost continent?
This would be an unprecedented discovery!
More importantly, Odin might know the whereabouts of Mimir's spaceship. Even if he did not know, he would know Yggdrasil very well and the changes of this dimension in the past 2,000 years after it left the main Material Plane. If Hao Ren could find Odin and ask him for help, it would be much easier than leading a group of people to search the Nine Worlds!
As for the "communication with the First Born" mentioned by Galazur, Hao Ren decided to put this matter aside. Because the situation of Yggdrasil was delicate, its calm state was very fragile. Hao Ren decided not to provoke this behemoth until he achieved greater exploration results or was forced by the situation.
He would let it continue to sleep at the end of the earth.
"I have a suggestion," Vivian suddenly said. "Let's go to the Golden Palace."
The Golden Palace, the palace where Odin lived in Norse mythology, was the peak of the temple, the throne of the king. It was the most magnificent building in the Garden of Asgard, the City of Gods, made of gorgeous precious metals. Its walls were covered with gold leaf, and the roof was covered with silver plates. Under the sunlight, the whole palace would appear glorious. It was said that Odin had a high throne in the Golden Palace. He sat on this throne every day and could see what was happening in the universe. When his view was blocked by the branches of Yggdrasil, his two domesticated crows would patrol the world and tell their master what he had missed. So the king of the gods could know the state of everything in the universe at any time.
Of course, this was an exaggeration in the myth. The truth was that there was a huge monitoring center in the Golden Palace, and Odin's throne was right next to the monitoring room.
Anthony Alfonso restarted the aircraft and flew them to the devastated Garden of Asgard. Vivian looked at the ruins of the Golden Palace and whispered, "If Odin really survived, he would have returned to the Golden Palace, at least once. If he was seriously injured and dying, he would not have wanted to leave his body exposed in the wilderness."
Hao Ren looked down and saw a complex cone-shaped building. Half of the building had collapsed, but the rest was still magnificent. In front of the building was an open half-moon square. In the center of the square was a dry and cracked stone fountain. Some broken sculptures were lying in the fountain pool, which might have once been the statue of Odin.
Everything was lifeless.
"It's a mess. It doesn't look like someone lived here," Lily muttered.
Vivian nodded. "Let's go down and have a look. Odin may have left, but maybe there are some clues inside."
When they got closer, the Golden Palace was bigger and more solemn than it looked from the sky. Its outer walls were not really made of gold and silver as the legend had it, but they were made of some kind of brilliant alloy. This metal structure kept the Golden Palace strong and sturdy even after the collapse. It also greatly preserved the original appearance of the uncollapsed parts. The clear and bright walls and roof were as dazzling as if they were brand new.
Hao Ren carried the plasma spear in one hand and the Godslayer in the other. He took the lead and walked in front of the team.
He did not take out the powerful inspector's gun because it was not easy to control. Moreover, it would cause an area-of-effect explosion. It was not wise to use it in such a half-collapsed building.
Even though he had the title of "Dynamite Genius Bomb Maniac", he did not like to blow himself up.
The inside of the Golden Palace was as desolate and silent as the outside. The once majestic palace that was filled with guards and "gods" was now empty. Other than the alloy walls that were still shining brightly, there was only a desolate atmosphere. They walked through the wide corridors of the palace. Only their own footsteps were accompanied by the echoes of the walls. Broken statues and building debris could be seen everywhere. It was depressing.
"Burp … Do you think Odin really came back?" Nangong Wuyue carefully followed Vivian and whispered. She had not digested the detergent, and she was still burping and spitting bubbles as she spoke. "Why do I feel like... burp... no one has been here for 2,000 years."
"If Odin was the only one who survived," Vivian shrugged. "Ninety percent of the palace is deserted."
Lily's ears suddenly twitched. She whispered, "Wait a minute! Did you guys hear something? "
The team immediately stopped. Hao Ren lowered his voice. "What?"
Lily lay on the ground and put one of her canine ears on the ground. "There's something … and there's more than one. It sounds like they're wearing armor … They're coming!"
Everyone was on high alert. After a long while, they finally heard a voice coming from the depths of the corridor in front of them.
Clack, clack, clack …
That was the sound of metal armor rubbing against each other as it moved!
